Making Games Using Circle Punches

After spending time playing with cardstock, punches and ribbon to make the pencil pails in the previous post, I remembered why I use to scrapbook. There are so many fun accessories!!! We had lots of left over paper, so I decided to put it to use. I can’t miss any opportunity to use my scallop punch, too! I’m in love with all things scallop’y’! I have created a couple of printables and a template for you to use, too!

I think these circles would be fun for all kinds of things! I am going to make some with colors, shapes and patterns, too. These scallop punches would be super easy to store in Altoids tins, pencil boxes, baggies, envelopes, baggies, etc.

What would you create with these circles? If you create something, please come back to this post and enter your link in the form below.

Anyway, thank you for posting on my need for help posting comments. I'm trying to see if I can post on yours now. It works on others with pop up boxes. With embedded comments it keeps asking me to sign in with google and make a blog. Very frustrating! Let's see if it works! :)

LOVE IT! I'll have to try to come up with another use for that template when I have some spare time (not that there's any of that in August for teachers!). I know nothing about scrapbooking tools, but if I were to look into getting a cute little scallop punch like that, is there a specific size (I saw you posted a size for the circle punch).~MeredithKeen on Kindergarten
